:: Things I learned ... the hard way
The following things I have learned the hard way on Wikipedia and are include here for my future reference, and so that you can learn from them too. You are likely here because I have included a link to here on your talk page. I did that just so that you can see that I'm no expert, and simply learned the same way you did...the hard way...and having some nice editor correct me as well. :)

The section in the Disneyland article is supposed to just be a summary of Happiest Homecoming on Earth. I've updated the section with a main tag and a hidden warning to only update the Happiest Homecoming article. I've merged the redundant information that had crept into the Disneyland article. Thanks. -- Monotonehell 15:15, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your input regarding LC. I am not obsessing about this matter, however don't feel like writing it off. Like I have said many times, God did not tell me to do what I did, however Craig Groeschel most certainly did (referring to a sermon I attended when he said he encourages people to critique him and his organization). Have a good one friend!-- Shunt11 21:24, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I was just wondering, is there a reason you tagged someone else's talk page for speedy deletion? [1] Just curious... Thanks, Sarah 07:03, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed you added a speedy deletion tag to this article. I have contested it, as the article is about a notable football player and contains sufficient information to rise to at least a 'stub' level. Please review the article, and if you agree, I would appreciate if you removed the speedy delete tag. If you think the article is still lacking content, perhaps a RfD would be appropriate?

Please help stop redirecting episodes for Zack and cody and having separate episode pages . user:avi charizard
I let them revert didn't I?-- Hornetman16 04:06, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
You've recommended that an image called "cricket resize" that I added to my article on Eric Lloyd Williams be speedily deleted. You say the image has been tagged as unknown for more than seven days. In fact I posted it only two days ago. It's an old family photograph that I want to place in the public domain with no copyright restrictions. Could you please let me know how to do this? Thanks - Rustyproof
I added a couple of links on the 5300 page to the 5300 reviews of two highly respected (and rival) phone sites, Gsm Arena and Mobile Review.
These sites have been linked to from many other phone pages on Wikipedia, and I cannot find anything in the Wikipedia guidelines which forbid adding these links.
Could you please give a specific reason why these sites should not be linked to, because I cannot find any reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.146.47.250 ( talk • contribs)
Excuse me but my contribution on daddy yankee was relevant!!
Thanks for your comments. I plan to take a cue from some of the tags on your User page. Cheers! Ste3ve 00:11, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Tiggerjay! Thank you for your advice on Philippians 4:13. I understand what you are saying, and I will remember about that the next time I think about doing it. Happy Editing! H irohisat Talk Page 00:54, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Please put {{subst:welcome}} instead of {{welcome}}. It reduces server load, and the user won't feel like it's a bot message. Thanks - Flubeca Talk 03:35, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
I object to your comment that my photos of Disneyland were fan-site-ish. How very rude you are. I visited Disneyland during a trip to the United States and took 'holiday' photos — not fansite photos. It would appear that photos, which are taken by a visitor to your country (persumably you are American), are rated by you as being unimportant and trivial. Figaro 09:39, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Dear Tiggerjay; I just posted at my user page, what I think is some important information about a phenomonon that has spread across Newfoundland and given way to many misconceptions. My entry, I feel is important to try and clear up these misconceptions, namely, the term "Republic of Newfoundland" which is a term I invented back in the early 1980s. I seem to have been marked for guick deletion, but I guess I need help. Snuffy Jackson 00:09, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
I don't see why it shouldn't be included. Any particular reasons? There was once information about New Orleans Square on the New Orleans, Louisiana page, so I think it would be relevant enough Staroftheshow86 13:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey there. I've had to tell someone else this, so don't feel bad, but be careful not to add the Bible college category to liberal arts colleges. Bible colleges are different from liberal arts colleges and seminaries. Aepoutre 14:20, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
I pulled the speedy nomination from this article and replaced it with a PROD. The article mentions that he was a published author, which is a credible claim of significance. Thanks! VQuakr ( talk) 02:09, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
